The global genetic diversity of cassava and related Manihot species is revealed by sequencing of 53 cultivated and wild accessions and genotyping of 268 African cassavas, providing a vital resource for breeding. Cassava ( Manihot esculenta ) provides calories and nutrition for more than half a billi...
